Import Bus should accept Inverter Card

Describe the feature

The Import Bus should accept an Inverter Card to turn the accepted item list into a rejection list.

This request explicitly does not ask for the Export bus to accept the inverter as it would result in performance issues, as discussed in Discord.

Reasons why it should be considered

An example use case is with tech mods that have machines using fluids such as Tech Reborn's grinder.
Using an export bus, you can fill the machine with fluid but as soon as you connect an import bus to collect the machine's output, it pulls all the fluid out. I, and other users, immediately made an inverter card to flip the Import Bus's accept list into a reject list to reject the fluid but found it was unsupported.

Additional details

This has been brought up before and rejected, but I believe the situation may have changed now as compatibility between mods has increased and with fluids being a part of ME networks.
